Jules: The U.S. Naval Observatory CCD Astrograph Catalog (UCAC2) may be what you are looking for. While it doesn't go down to 17th magnitude, it does cover the entire sky to 16th magnitude (roughly 80 million stars). At present, the published and released portion of the catalog is complete from the south celestial pole to about 45 degrees north declination. The complete catalog will be available by 2006.
Information on the current release may be found at: http://ad.usno.navy.mil/ucac/ Regards, Geoff Chester --- In [email protected], "Jule DuBois" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > .
